More than 40 foreign students will experience Christmas in the traditional American way this year as guests of the Delano District Chamber of Commerce.
The students were invited by the People to People Committee of the district to spsnd three days, including Christmas, at the homes of families in Delano, a town located in the center of the San Joaquin Valley.
Two Tours
When asking the university for students who would be interested in the Christmas visit, the committee explained that the invitation was a followup of their summer activities.
“During the summer we entertained two tours of foreign students who were in this area on the Ambassadors for Friendship tours,” the committee wrote to Viets Logue, counselor of foreign students.

Squires Fall To Knights
The Trojan Knights scored the first time they had the ball and kept it thereafter as they whitewashed the Squires, 22-0, Firday, in the annual Blood Bowl football game between the USC service organization.
The Knights kept alive their record of never having succumbed to the lower-division Squires in a hard-fought series aimed at raising Troy Camp funds that extends back to pre-World War II era.
Knights Mike Cohen was the scoring hero of the contest, tallying the first TD on a 10-yard scamper and coming back to nab a 24-yard scoring pass from quarterback Bob Whithill later in the fray.
Whitehill was on the beam all day, connecting with pin-point aerials.
Cabinet Body May Approve Amendments
The Executive Cabinet will probably approve a series of amendments to the election code with little difficulty tonight at 7, ASSC President Hugh Helm said yesterday.
The cabinet, meeting in Helm's office because the Senate Chambers are being redecorated, will also review a resolution urging the city to place a traffic light at Hoover Blvd. and 35th St. and a proposed new AMS constitution.
“I do not expect a great deal of controversy with the amendments,” Helm said. “They amount to a more careful delineation and specification of election procedure than we have had before.”
The ASSC Senate spent 50 minutes discussing the Elections Code revisions last Wednesday before approving them.
The cabinet also will determine the points to be presented to President Topping at the first of a series of administra-t i o n-student conferences on Dec. 14, Helm said.

The Business School is spon-oring Dr. Dean's current tour of Los Angeles, which will include a luncheon at the Bilt-more Hotel today.
The economist’s campus talks will include a speech at a faculty seminar in 104 Bridge today at 3 on “Main Currents of Recent Research in the Economics of Business Investment.’
Professor Dean will speak at a graduate student seminar tonight at 8 in 133 FH on “International Productivity Comparisons for Foreign Investments.”
Tomorrow at the faculty luncheon in the Faculty Center, he will explain the duties of a business economist in ? tale titled “What Does a Consultant on Managerial Econom ics Do, Anyhow?’*
Dean Dockson said the economist is being brought to campus as part of a distinguished speaker program in which visiting professors spend a week speaking before students.

denied the charges in yesterday’s editorial.
“Three weeks before the Bill of Rights Week, (Bill of Rights Week chairman) Meyer contacted the English department,” she stated. “The English department replied that another contest had already been scheduled for the week of
Nov. 27 to Dec. 1.”
(Dr. Ronald E. Freeman, associate professor of English and coordinator for freshman English classes, reported yesterday that he was informed of the contest in a letter dated Nov. 26, which he received Nov. 27.
He said that any message received earlier would have
nounced the next day,” he said.
Dr. Freeman said the only other English department contest would be the freshman essay contest, which is handled completely through the English department and does not end until Jan. 12.)
Miss Wilson listed as fiction the charge that the essay contest was not open to the general student body.
“A member of the Bill of Rights Committee telephoned every fraternity, sorority and dormitory and announced that there would be a contest,” her letter said.

Daily Trojan To Preview Helen Titles
The eight top women of Troy—to be saluted in the 1962 El Rodeo as Helen of Troy — will be introduced to the university in a series of Daily Trojan articles that will begin tomorrow.
This will mark the second year that the Daily Trojan has announced the Helens before the formal announcement in the El Rodeo, which will come out in the spring.
Next to the Order of the Laurel, given to one USC coed upon graduation, Helen of Troy is considered by many to be the highest honor a woman can receive.
“This year’s Helens were judged by an administrative committee on the basis of achievements that have helped the university in general or student programs,” Charlotte Hawkins, editor-in-chief of the 1962 El Rodeo said.
“The distinction does not indicate recognition for either holding office or achieving high grade average,” she explained. “It is basically each woman’s intangible qualities which have

“We made a genuinely fine showing against what I hear was good intersectional competition," he said. "We were also able to learn about some of the cases and arguments used by Southwest schools.”

The apparatus consists of two small units, one an injector, the other a recorded. The inj.-jCtor unit has small plastic tubes which run to a vein and an artery carry ing a saline solution containing anti-coagulant.
